Running Dad
- Barepheet
- I am husband and father of twins,a girl and a boy twelve months old. I started running to get in shape so I can enjoy playing with my little ones as they grow from two feet to where ever life might take them. The plan was simple. Run a few miles a week, lose a little weight, and get healthy. Sounds easy until you find that you really enjoy running and a few miles somehow grows to twenty to thirty a week. Running just seem to engulf me. I find time to be very precious. There are many things that a person can lose and eventually get back. Time is not one of them. Now my alarm buzzes at 3:45AM and I am off and running out the door hence the name of this blog 10K before the twins wake. I wanted to start this blog to help fill my hour or so in the wee hours of the morning with thought provoking questions. I like to think about How I can be better dad? what advice am I going to offer to my young ones of life? If I was stranded on a island and could bring only one album what would it be? Questions of that nature. Running seems to be easier when lost in thought. So come on! Lets talk! I would enjoy hearing your thoughts on this thing called life and all it has to offer.

I'll have to listen to your playlist when I'm outside of the work firewall. I'm sure it's killer though. I love the idea of your blog and am looking forward to posting smart-alleck remarks all over it. I can't believe you're so friggin fast. Paul said you did the 4 miler in 26 something... dude that's fast. Nice work.
No wonder you run so fast. You have all that fast music. I have a lot of the same bands on my 10K/10 mile playlist. Good stuff. I'd like to see what you'd put together for a marathon playlist. In Indy I was focused on not going out to fast so I put 5 super long songs in the first hour of my playlist:
Low Spark of High Heeled Boys Panic/Live Carbondale 2000 15:07
Ordinary People Neil Young 18:13
I heard it through the Grapevine CCR 11:06
Pigs (3 diff ones) Les Claypool and the Frog Brigg 11:44
Run like an antelope PH 13:48
Makes me wanna run.
Forget about my run your 3:09:43 is truly amazing and inspiring. I am hella jealous. Congrats on qualifing for the Boston! Bring on your smart-alleck remarks my fine friend.
Hey Jes. Awesome blog page, awesome tunes, and the picture of you holding those babies gave me chills. It's so beautiful!!! Mosters is that song from the cd you made me that I love. Hope to see you guys soon. P.S. why can't I get addicted to running?
This is one of my fast pace playlist. Every week I will try and put a new one up for your listening pleasure because music does soothe the savage beast. This new one I made for the arrival of snow,ice, and slush is a mix of semi mellow alternative. I tried it out this morning and really enjoyed it. I have thought about my marathon playlist but haven't quite narrowed it down as of yet. It's such a hard decision.Plus isn't i-pods banned from most marathons. That would be bad news for me because without music I seem to think too much about running(is my pace to fast,am I breathing to heavy,that sort of stuff)
Hey there Trotters!Congrats on your bundle of joy! Pi your are a true rock star! Running is easy, you just brought a beuatiful boy into this world! Can't wait to the happy family!
